If *I* were in charge of renumbering maybe I would consider that. But, since GE, arrgghh, *we* do use the public internet as a transport to get to/from the corporate wan based on location, duration of connection needed, etc. Also, we are renumbering the smaller components into 3.0.0.0/8, but there is already a tremendous amount of numbered devices. Also, I guess I should stop responding to these jabs now. :-) -v

If you're in the process of renumbering, why not renumber into 10/8? Does Jane Pauley need her own gloabally routable IP address? Number of employees <> number of addresses.
I suppose if you think about it, ping flooding Tom Brokaw's teleprompter during the Nightly News would be kind of cool. Of course, this could be the spiked eggnog talking too....
Happy Holidays,
Eric

Well, GE is the largest corporation in the world. The total
in all seven divisions and their components is just over 1.7 million. That is a lot. Add in all the IP devices in NBC's network alone and you've got a huge number of justifiable space right there. Further, they, uh sorry, we, :-) are renumbering all acquired companies into
3.0.0.0/8 range and returning the historic class B's (i.e. Ameridata, Bodan, etc.).

Funky discovery... question is, why does GE need such massive addr space? :)
